What if I write a program that checks argv[0] to decide which part of the code to run, and makes a bunch of symlinks

In Arch I just copy the . desktop application to the system directory through makepkg and it works.

I think using tiling based windows is one of the things that makes it easier for single monitor. I use i3 and it’s way quicker to refer to something on another workspace compared to if I were to have them in separate monitors or stacked views. When using extra monitors i just have it open browser most of the time.

You don’t need multiple screens to code. You can split inside your editor if you need to look at two things, otherwise you just jump between things. Faster thank having to use multiple things

Only applies if they are not owned by the same company. Or a handful of companies.

We’ve moved past the point where they can get new customers that previously didn’t or will use dating apps. They know we don’t have other choices, they know everyone will use it, and they will use multiple apps.

Arch now has archinstall. So the setup is pretty fast. And if you sync your dotfiles, and have a list of packages to install, you can setup in an hour or so

From someone who installed manjaro because I thought it’d be easier arch, but did not last more than a month

I live like this, it has been 10 years, no problem

That’s actually what I think of as how the open source works. It’s not that millions of people are working for you to have things all the time. It’s just that instead of making something and letting it be lost in some hard drive they share it. If something has enough interest, use value, and passion from the creator then the work will continue.

Some programs with heavy industry use, or a passionate user base will be successful, but even the niche small programs are there so if someone wants to continue the work they can.

Vs the same little programs from companies that are not open source will be just lost, you can’t get the source and continue even if you want to. Even they will discard the source, or the guy that worked on it will be gone and noone knows anything.

So appreciate open source, even if it doesn’t work for all the cases, it is better because it can continue, the effort isn’t lost. Open source licenses don’t promise future maintenance, they are just available as they are

That’s what I heard and it made sense. You didn’t want the developer or tester to have to progress normally to test things.

But I guess now we have better debug tools, and release builds vs debug builds. Because resource isn’t a problem and we can insert all those extra info on debug build

No one is saying parking lot is a lot of area of the earth. It’s a lot of area of a city.

Cities and areas human live in is very small part of the overall land we have available, because we need a lot more resources than just a house to live in. Even in tribal areas the buildings take barely any land compared to the area they use for agriculture, hunting and things.

The main problem with parking lot is the amount of space it takes within the area we live in, specially for any place people gather in. Making the places people want to gather even more isolated because of it.

Interviews actually cost the company. They have to pay those people interviewing you, and not working for clients at that time. That’s why I don’t see many applications going to interview phase at all. Most applications are just filtered by AI, or some HR and it never goes to the actual hiring manager. And they don’t interview unless they are pretty sure about wanting to hire the candidate. At least the companies without ghost jobs do that.

But HR only interviews are probably different, they might do interviews to justify their job.

So non cult people can’t pass laws to ban a cult

Cheap?

I used to think everyone at least knew VLC media player or Firefox, but nope.

Now I first ask which field, if they’re CS they know linux, if art, they know blender, if geosciences they know QGIS, anything else is hard
